The stunning conclusion to the award-winning fantasy trilogy.

The witch sisters Lune and Ciel, now returned to Earth, struggle to resume their everyday lives after each having spent 100 years in a time no one else around them has experienced. It isn’t easy as both of them have changed. Ciel has become a great witch and can no longer hide her immense power. Lune, to her horror, discovers an unfamiliar force flowing within her. Both sisters have also lost a great love.

At the same time, the Earth is shaken by increasingly frequent volcanic eruptions, and the fallen realm of Royaume has begun to rise again. The intertwined fates of witches, elves, and humans hurtle toward a terrifying final reckoning.
